Orchestra instruments are commonly tuned to match an A-note played by the principal oboe. The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra tunes

to an A-note at 440 Hz while the Boston Symphony Orchestra tunes to 442 Hz. If the speed of sound is constant at 343 m/s, find the magnitude of difference between the wavelengths of these two different A-notes. (Enter your answer in m.)

Answer:

Δλ = 3*10⁻³ m.

Explanation:

  • At any wave, there exists a fixed relationship between the speed of  the wave, the wavelength, and the frequency, as follows:

       v = \lambda* f  (1)

       where v is the speed, λ is the wavelength and f is the frequency.

  • Rearranging terms, we can get λ from the other two parameters, as follows:

       \lambda = \frac{v}{f}  (2)

  • Since v is constant for sound at 343 m/s, we can find the different wavelengths at different frequencies, as follows:

        \lambda_{1} =\frac{v}{f_{1}} = \frac{343m/s}{440(1/s)} = 0.779 m  (3)

        \lambda_{2} =\frac{v}{f_{2}} = \frac{343m/s}{442(1/s)} = 0.776 m  (4)

  • The difference between both wavelengths, is just the difference between (3) and (4):

       \Delta \lambda = \lambda_{1} - \lambda_{2} = 0.779 m - 0.776m = 3e-3 m (5)

       ⇒ Δλ = 3*10⁻³ m.

Which part of a stream's sediment load moves the slowest?
Rudiy27
The bed load moves the slowest from all the parts of the stream's sediment. It consists of particles suspended that are suspended and float around the bed. This part is the slowest in motion, as it rolls, and moves with the flow. The particles near the bed are not dissolved so they settle at the bottom and move with the stream.
